Pre Game Promise AFL Rd21: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[kruddler]

The way Eddie has performed this year he looks like he could go to 400.  He deserves to be that and an icon of the game.

At the time I was on the fence of letting Adelaide have Eddie, and by the end of it, was happy to see him gone, but Ill put my hand up and state that this decision was possibly the worst we have made as a footy club in the last 30 years (that is a massive statement in itself). 

Eddie himself said he needed to go.
He was drinking heaps and on his way to depression (if not already there).
The fresh start gave him new life and new love for the game.
Then he was able to come back and it happened again, got a 3rd lease of life.

Had he stayed, he wouldn't have been the same player, and wouldn't still be playing.
